A short report from the final days of filming on the Tarantino flick from scooper 'Dredge': "Kill Bill has been filming in Careyes, Jalisco (south of Puerto Vallarta) for a few days after which principal photography should wrap. They've been filming in a shabby local bar (the kind where the watiresses/waiters are also available.) and have hired a number of people from a nearby pueblo as extras, one of which told me she was making 500 pesos a day, equivalent to about 50 US dollars, real good money here where the minimum wage is 35 pesos a day".

Monkey Peaches has posted up a description of the first trailer and it sounds quite spectacular. Here's just a sampling: "We get a crane shot. It starts at eye level on Uma and it slowly raises to the rafters so that we can see that there are something like 25 bad guys surrounding her, all with swords drawn. Uma then raises her sword, indicating she’s ready for’em. Pause. She makes one tiny, defiant movement and (now back to the crane shot where we can see everyone from above) the whole circle of bad guys literally take a synchronized, fearful step back. It’s sooooooo cool. Anyway, moving on…the screen goes black and once again we get big, red block letters but this time they read: "IN THE YEAR". Fade out to someone with blonde hair (pretty sure it’s Hannah again) doing a flying kick. Cut to: "2003". Fade out to an axe flung end over end that whizzes by Uma’s head. Cut to: "UMA THURMAN". Fade out to Uma doing some sort of flip. "WILL". Fade out to more martial art swordplay but now in silhouette. Cut to: "KILL BILL". Fade out to a profile shot of Lucy Liu; she says, "You didn’t think it was going to be that easy, did you?" It then cuts to a profile shot of Uma who responds with, "You know…for a second there, I kind of did." And for the last shot we cut to Uma running up the banister of a staircase to intercept a bad guy with her sword". Thanks to 'Sebastian'.

Quentin Tarantino traveled to Beijing in early March to prep for shooting on "Kill Bill" where he exclusively talked with Beijing Youth, and now a transcript is up at Monkey Peaches. Amongst the new highlights is that the film will be spead across four countries - China, Japan, Mexico and America as Uma's character travels around the world to kill the five men who've traumatized her. About the script, QT says: "For an average script, you must first imagine what the action scene is then you shoot it. But my script is different. In my script, you can see all the actions. In my script. action and fight scenes alone occupy 22 pages, which has cost me a whole year to write. This is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I not only had to make it better but also had to design each move as well as the momentum and the strength among the words. Each sentence must show feelings and strengths. I just wrote and re-wrote, for a whole year. Just like this, the script has gradually been enriched and become more complete. I first wrote it section by section. If it was too hard to come out connections between sections, I just left them blank and went to watch Hong Kong movies, watch Japanese samurai movies, to look for inspirations to fill my script. This process is painful and long. The final product is something totally original and something of my own". Thanks to 'Ye Meng'

Quentin also talks about his upcoming career prospects: "Most directors have a 40-year career. There's that first great 20 years, and the second 20 years, which isn't half as great. There are good movies in that last half, but also a lot of apologizing - and I want to avoid those last 20 years. I don't want to be too much of a professional, I want to keep my amateur status".
